Round The Tubes: What The Hell Happened? Edition

Most of these links are from yesterday, but they’re still relevant because yesterday was Sunday. How does that make sense?

Fuck y0u. That’s how. (I learned that from Congress).

In an update to this batshit crazy story about the girl getting her face tattooed upon meeting her intertubes boyfriend, we find that we’ve already met the intrepid tattooist.

He’s the guy who tattooed that nitwit girl’s face who then claimed she slept while he tattooed 20 stars on her face. Apparently he’s a facial tattoo artist. I’m in favor, it’s a very reliable guide on who I don’t need to talk to.

Here we have someone noticing that Karl Rove is not, in fact, a conservative. One of them thar Well Duh stories. Karl Rove is Dick Morris. Both of them are fine when talking about winning elections, not so fine when they get outside the political world. They’re both like those geniuses you see on TV, except not smart.

Okay, I know I’m late to this party and I haven’t paid any attention, but I’m pretty surprised about this.

ans voted in an online contest to add a cat token to the property trading game,

Wait, there was an intertubes poll and the cat won? Whodathunkit?

I will say one thing, it’s too bad they didn’t allow fans to suggest a token.

I’m not sure if the world could take the awesome that a Ron Paul Monopoly figure would represent, but I would like to find out.

A Comment. When I posted the article the other day about he Marines not getting bolts in their rifles at Obama’s inauguration. I almost took it out because I didn’t check to see if that was SOP, I didn’t because I saw a link somewhere (gateway pundit? Weasel Zippers? iOwn the World? I think it was one of them) claiming that it was different even from Obama’s 2009 inauguration but I can’t find that link.

This link has some anonymous guy saying that they never allow the Marines to have bolts but not linky. You make the call!

The main purpose of US President Barack Obama’s visit to Israel in the spring is to warn Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu against attacking Iran,

For some values of “ally”. That’s from anonymous Israeli army officials so take it for what it’s worth, but it surely does feel right. Obama always sides against the democracy.

Tom Maguire usually makes me laugh, he notices shit that others don’t. In that link he notes that he preferred it when Minitrue covered up for the cop-killing-cop out west, now they’re praising his manifesto. Pretty funny.

Union busted for treating workers like shit. SEIU: Putting the Thug into Union Thug since 1990.

More and more people are noticing the gov’t buying up billions of rounds of ammo and getting scared. There we have that noted conspiracy theorist, Blackfive (the paratrooper of love) noticing it. See? I told you that’s good paranoia.

Eleanor Clift is like Mara Liasson except even more stupid and far less introspective (think, Alan Colmes with a lobotomy). Case in point.

Clift twice said drones “are a blessing”

Huh, I wonder if her god would have been so happy about them if Chimpy McBusHitler were pres. To ask that question is to answer it.

Boy did they bury the lede on this story. It’s all about how neither Bill Clinton nor the First Worf won a grammy for spoken word album. At first I thought, “Of course not”, but then I read further and found out that William Shatner didn’t win either!?!?!?!?!?!

Now that’s a travesty. Shatner should win a spoken word Grammy every year. The man did a spoken word version of a rap song for heaven’s sake.

The Weather Channel pissed off meteorologists for naming the global worming induced weather event last week. You don’t name snowstorms, it’s just sensationalist crap, just like their global warmmongering. They’ve forgotten the science and are working on the ratings.

Good on Elton John. He might be a nitwit, but he pissed off the murderous commie dictators in China by praising a dissident during a concert he gave (John, not the dissident or the dictator) and now the commies are pissed off.

I’ll summarize, “We don’t want to take your guns but we want to make you safe so our plan is to get people to enforce existing gun laws and then take all your guns except a couple that we, the gov’t, deem acceptable.”

Nothing new, I’m mostly linking for Point 4

4. Reinstate a prospective federal ban on assault magazines

There are a few layers of stupidity in that sentence.

What the fuck is an “Assault Magazine”? I mean, I know what they probably mean, any magazine not in police hands that holds more than one (1) round.

You know how they got that term? “Assault” polled as a scary word when used with guns, it was much scarier than “military” (because people like the military and hate politicians).

How do you reinstate something that’s prospective? That is a slimy, “we think you’re an idiot” tactic.

What really concerns me is the DHS need for lots of ammo and full-auto weapons. When elements of your gov’t seek to not only remove your power but up its power at the same time you are looking at a gov’t that seeks to ensure it gets to do whatever the hell it wants without consequences.
